Vigil led by Trinity’s working group on behalf of persecuted Christians in the Middle East on Thursday, September 11, from 8 am to 8 pm, in the chapel. Coptic Christians in Egypt are increasingly under attack by Islamist militants, and Christians in Iraq and Syria are being driven from their homes by the tens of thousands by the group calling itself the Islamic State, These ancient Christian bodies, some tracing their founding to the time of the Apostles, some still worshipping in Aramaic, the language of Jesus, are in great peril; they need our prayers. To participate, sign up on the sheet in the narthex of contact the church office.

My name is Rachel Friend and I’m the new Director of Christian Formation. What you may not know is that I did this position on a volunteer basis from 2002 – 2006. Trinity has always been a labor of love for me. I loved going to church as a child and that is one thing I have always wanted to pass along to children.
My degree is in Human and Family Development from The Ohio State University. Children have been a passion of mine since I was 12 years old. Currently I teach three year olds at Christ Lutheran Children’s Center in Bexley, OH. I have been a full time teacher there for almost three years. I love going to work every day and this has been the most rewarding and challenging work I have done!
I will be working closely with Bill Bronson and Future Trinity to help cultivate the families we have as well as adding new members to our church. This is going to be a very exciting adventure for our church and I feel blessed to be part of it.
In the next several years I hope to grow the Sunday School to 20-30 children, build our acolyte program, and create a Youth Group that attends diocesan events and summer camp at Procter Conference Center.
Please join us this Sunday, September 7, 2014 for our Welcome to Trinity Sunday. We will meet in the back of the church at 10:20. We will process to the front of the church for a brief blessing and move up stairs to the Sunday School rooms.
I am looking forward to getting to know all of you better. I can’t wait to see what this next year holds.

The Lay Weeders, who plant and maintain Trinity’s garden, have made a start on a long-planned overhaul of the northwest corner. They purchased twelve red Knock Out roses, to match the red doors, and hired a landscape contractor to remove the ivy and tree roots, till the soil, plant the roses, and apply mulch. Phase One was spearheaded by Jane Forbes. The Weeders are making plans for additional plantings, and for north-south and east-west paths of memorial stone pavers, to go in next spring.

Remembering our Neighbors on the Border, we pray: Lord Jesus Christ, beloved son of God, whose parents fled with you across the border of a foreign land where you might live, we pray to you for the immigrant children. Give consolation to those who are in detention centers awaiting their future. Give hope to their families beyond the borders, as they wait for news of the destiny of their children. Inspire legislative leaders to develop wise and clear policies in the midst of a complex reality. And teach us to follow your example of caring for the neighbor in concrete forms, as you did with the persons most vulnerable among us. All this we ask, because of your great love. Amen.
We renew our commitments to serve the poorest in our midst and remember all who are homeless and hungry in our city today. We give thanks for the generous hospitality offered this afternoon at In The Garden, and pray for the Holy Spirit’s abundant grace in our fellowship.
